Abstract

This research investigates the optimization of hybrid meta-materials composed of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and ferrite for the enhancement of radar cross section (RCS) suppression. The integration of CNTs with ferrite offers unique electromagnetic properties, such as high dielectric and magnetic responses, that are conducive to improving the stealth characteristics of materials. The study employs a systematic approach to design and model hybrid composites with optimized geometric and material parameters for maximizing RCS reduction across a wide range of frequencies. Analytical techniques, such as numerical simulations and experimental validations, are utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of the meta-materials in suppressing radar signatures. The results indicate that the CNT-ferrite composites exhibit superior RCS attenuation compared to conventional materials, highlighting their potential for advanced applications in stealth technologies and radar-absorbing coatings. Additionally, the research explores the scalability and adaptability of these materials for real-world applications, emphasizing their significance in the development of next-generation stealth systems.
